International Surfing Day is almost here! For those who waited until the last minute to show their love for the ocean and its waves, a frantic dash to find the perfect gift is underway. And it seems florists are bearing the brunt of this eleventh-hour rush.
Reports are flooding in of long lines at flower shops, with surfers desperately trying to find the perfect bouquet or arrangement to celebrate the day. Why the sudden surge? It seems many surfers, caught up in the excitement of riding waves, forgot to plan ahead for their floral tributes. This year’s International Surfing Day is proving to be a real test of last-minute gift-giving prowess.
One florist reported a 300% increase in orders compared to last year’s International Surfing Day, with many customers requesting surf-themed arrangements featuring seashells, starfish, and even miniature surfboards. The creativity is certainly inspiring, but the sheer volume of orders has left many florists working overtime to ensure every surfer gets their floral token of appreciation.
So, a friendly reminder to all surfers: Plan ahead next year! Don’t let a wave of forgetfulness crash your International Surfing Day celebrations. While the florists scramble to fulfill this year’s last-minute orders, let’s raise a wave to their dedication and resilience.
